"Addictive - Like a Deep House or Techno version of Brian Eno's Bloom and Trope apps. Uptempo ambient for headphones at work. Kids love it, too. One of the best generative music apps I've found." - Top Review

"This is a great app. Experienced musicians and laypeople alike can enjoy their music within seconds." - AppAdvice.com

"More than anything, it’ll be a calming oasis in the chaos that is a typical day in a modern city. If it all gets too much, as it inevitably does, just plug in your earphones and sculpt some sounds by moving around the nodes on the screen, simply making music and letting the ambient chimes wash over you. Until your boss tells you to stop messing around and get back to work, that is." - Kevin Holmes - thecreatorsproject.com

"If you like generative, reactive or ambient music- Nodebeat is a vital addition to your app collection. It is easily on par with the likes of Bloom, Slewpi, Aura flux, Curtis, Reactable and the rest and is super user-friendly...You can get lost in this ambient world for hours if you are just into playing at home, but if you are part of the new wave of live performers that are using iOS devices for live performances then you too should grab this app! You will astound your audience with mesmerizing spaced out grooves like never before!" - Zac Laurent - www.evolutionarymusic.org

Awesome and easy

Been using nodebeat for more than a year and the more I explore its capabilities, the more I'm impressed. It's basic functionality is intuitive, sounds great and enough to own this app. Dig further into it and you may be pleasantly surprised, as I was.

My Favorite Generative Music App

Been using this for 6+ years and still love it. Especially love using it in Audiobus as an input and also using it as Midi controller for other apps.

Also love that it works with both iPhone and iPad. It's simple, yet is capable of making some complex music.

Or you can use it as an interactive meditational aid or game.

Well worth the cost, bandwidth to download, storage space and processing power.
